But when i use 3 asus vs228 lcd monitor it works perfectly fine by using this cables

mini display port - DVI

mini display port - HDMI

DVI -  DVI

 

the cable setup for 3HDTV Since the TV doesn't have DVI Port 

 

mini display port = HDMI

mini display port = HDMI

mini display port = HDMI

 

I also have some other ports like

 

mini display port - DVI that can convert to to HDMI

mini display port - Display port = HDMI

 

 

by the way, the HDtv that we have was a LG 39' Smart tv

 

here is the specs of my computer

 

AMD Sapphire HD7990

16gb Memory

Core i7 4770k

Windows 8.1

sorry..thats what im trying to figure out..i dont know anything about active adapters..can you explain it to me..sorry i feel so noob right now :( 

Plainly it has a chip in the cable to actively change the display signal and it just makes things work. For triple monitors on older AMD cards you need to use an active displayport adapter for the third display to work.

That's how they look but I have no clue if it's active or passive.

do i need just one active..because i think the mini displayport - dvi is a active one.... but im not sure about the mini displayport - hdmi..

 

the mini display port - hdmi came with the graphic card it self..so that might be active

 
how many active ports do i need in order for this to work

Just one of them needs to be active to have the third display work.
